HIMSS Usability 101: Applied Methods (Monday, February 20, 2012)
"This is a hands-on, interactive workshop that will focus on real-world scenarios in measuring the effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction of the user experience with an EHR. This workshop will cover usability research methods across the software design and development spectrum that can be adapted to any organization's EHR development, customization or implementation process. Attention will be given to matching the appropriate usability research method to the associated phase of software development. Participants will plan and discuss several usability methods for use in their own environment."

Information Visualization for Medical Informatics: Overview, Search, & Summary for Electronic Health Records (December 8, 2010)
Novel strategies in information visualization allow users to explore in systematic yet flexible ways, while recording their interaction history and collaborating with relevant colleagues.
This talk begins with commercial success stories such as www.spotfire.com, www.smartmoney.com/marketmap and www.hivegroup.com and explores their application to medical informatics. We'll look at research tools for electronic health records to find specified event sequences (http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/lifelines2) and search for similar histories (www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/similan). Then we present current work on showing compact summaries of millions of patient histories to identify common and rare patterns (www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/lifeflow).
